Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well looks like a good weekend after I got home and opened my package to get my fuel tank . I got a phone call to say my hood had arrived . So up early this morning and drove over to Essex to collect my hood from the shipping company .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well Rian came over this morning to give me a hand to fit my bonnet (hood) to you guys
Taking the old one off we found one of the bolts was totally the wrong thread and just forced in . Hope this isn't a start of things to come . The strip down will start after the Easter holidays . Myself and Rian are going to take the trucks to a local show on Easter Sunday and Monday . That will be its last outing before I strip it down to the chassis and bolt all the new parts I have purchased through the winter . Now our clocks have gone foward and the weather is getting better it's light when I get home from work so work can start Hood stripped off  I like this as my rottie is guarding the front as our other dogs come out to see what's going on  Hood all fitted  This is the wrong bolt used in the old hood

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Wheels Day has to be the best £5.00 you get to spend all year and its for charity.
Good to see you guys. Nicola got a load of sunburn on her face and looks like "Batman" I managed to spend £55.00 on "Stuff" Nicola made me buy and wear a Sheriff's badge that says "LICENSED JUBK COLLECTOR" I guess you did not find another door for your truck. I will upload a few of Nicola's photos later and post up here if you want???

PS. I noted there were probably about 8-10 Chevy C10's and a GMC.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Today I took the truck for its last run out before I start to tear it down for the rebuild
The weather at today's show was a lot wetter than Fridays show, but still had a good day even if we got wet Took this picture as I went all the way to Spain in one of these about 35 years ago  Here is a selection of the others I took

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well the strip down has started
Last night I ordered my front and rear two inch lowered springs and shocks from Brothers . It worked out better to do a double order with Rian so we could split the shipping . So tonight when I got home from work I started stripping the front off .

I give you Exhibit A   How do you plead?? Thanks for ordering our shocks n springs. I guess for the American readers we need to put things in perspective. Just on combining shipping, we save about $110.00 to the UK. I do not remember the total price you paid, but once we have landed the parts, it comes to about $730.00 once import duty and tax is added for the parts, so about $182.00 or in English money £107.00 per corner.

Doesn't look like the M5 will be moving much anytime soon... Trucklock, not gridlock...
